aspnet_regsql -d MyDatabase -E -S . –ed
aspnet_regsql -d MyDatabase -E -S . -et -t ReferenceTable
Listing 5.3: Registering the database and tables for notification.
aspnet_regsql is a handy tool when it comes to creating key databases used by the
membership provider for ASP.NET. It can also be used to add or remove options on an
existing database. In this case, we will use it to configure cache dependency options.
If you want to know a bit more about how to use it, Table 5.1 summarizes some of the
key options.
-d The name of the database to act on
-E Tells the command to use windows authentication
-S The name of the server. "." Means to use the current server
-ed Enables SQL cache dependency
-dd Disables SQL cache dependency
-et Enables SQL cache dependency on a table
-dt Disables SQL cache dependency on a table
-t Specifies which table to enable caching on
-lt Lists the tables that have cache dependency enabled
Table 5.1: The key options for aspnet_regsql.
